    Well, this year is my last, and I have always been interested in business, but im kind of nervous about it, In a way I would like a set pay. But I have always wanted to open up a small store like gamestop ect.. *Selling video games consoles ect..*

    But I want to also goto college what are some degrees that would help me in the business world to get a decent paying job. I would like to make 50-60k+ yearly.

    But I dont know it is actually scarry when you think about it =/

    You don't have to make a decision and stick with it. Try working for a gamestop company and see if you like it. Ask the owner what the good and bad parts are of their job. When you consider getting your dream job you should always consider what the worst parts of the work will be, that way you can have a balanced view whether it's something that you want to do all day, all week long.

    The biggest advice I can give you:

    Don't go into College just to get a job that will make you only 50K a year. Don't even go into college if you are going to choose a subject that you don't like. You said you always wanted to open up a Gamestop? Do that instead. The more you like it, the easier the job and the more money you'll make.

    Also, I think you know more than I do that your time is more valuable than just a $60K per year job. You can be much bigger if you want to be. :)

    How about doing a business degree :D
    If you have an idea of a job, then why not get some experience in that field, in your case gaming, by getting a job in a game store, see if you like it and then open your own if you still feel it is what you what to do.
    Failing that go to college and get a degree in something you like, instead of something which will help you get a job that pays loads but that you have no interest in.

    Go to college. Get a business degree. Open an online gaming store while you are going to college. Once you are done with college, turn your online store into a real store.

    And party like a rockstar on the weekends... :D

    Forget about college, star your own business if you can.
    There's no money included in the college degree.

    you should open up a shop that sells music at the front, a pub in the middle and gadgets / a brothel at the back.
    That's gotta be a winner in any shopping centre!
    Certainly keep me entertained while the wife's looking round the shops
